Less is More - Week #261 - Lucky Dip

 Welcome to this week's "Less is More" challenge - we have a Down Under sponsor, Kylie from Happy Little Stampers and a Down Under theme.  This had me stumped so I reached for my Cameo and cut a couple of roos, inking them with Frayed Burlap to give them a bit of depth.  I cut the ground freehand and added a computer generated sentiment.  This card has a bit too much white space at the top, but I am not sure quite what to add...
When in doubt I often turn to my Crazy Birds stamps and today is no exception!  This chap has a long beak like a kookaburra(at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it) and I've coloured him in kookaburra colours with my Copics.  The sentiment is Inkadinkado and the stencil I used for a border is Dutch Doobadoo, with Frayed Burlap and Broken China brushed through.

  1. Anne, your kangaroos are fabulous! You are right about that crazy bird having a beak like a kookaburra. I have them come into my yard and I have actually hand fed them - their beaks are quite scary! xx

  6. ah the cameo - never think to use mine! Great cards, love the bird - but I am determined I do not need them.
    Still in shock over you thinking I have good handwriting on last week's card - I felt I had totally spoilt it!
